The Order of White Knights declares sovereignty over the Principality of Sealand (an eccentric micro-nation) for the following reasons:
(1) The Royal fort Roughs Tower was situated at a distance of approximately 7 nautical miles from the United Kingdom coast, which is more than double the pre 1978 applicable 3 mile range of territorial waters. This island was situated in the international waters of the North Sea 10 km (six miles) off the coast of Suffolk, England (51°53'40"N, 1°28'57"E).
(2) The British state had abandoned Royal Fort Roughs Tower, res derelicta and terra nullius. It constituted extra-national territory.
(3) In 1967, Major Paddy Roy Bates occupied the island proclaiming the island his own state. Claiming jus gentium, he bestowed upon himself the title of Prince and the title of Princess to his wife and subsequently made the state the Principality of Sealand.
(4) An English court passed judgment in 1968, declaring that it was not competent in a case regarding Roy of Sealand's defensive sovereignty skirmishes with the Royal Navy as it could not exert any jurisdiction outside of British national territory. A de facto recognition of the Principality of Sealand. English law had ruled that Sealand was not part of the United Kingdom, nor did any other nation claim it, hence Prince Roy's declaration of a new Sovereign State was de facto upheld.
(5) In 1978 the Principality of Sealand underwent a state of civil war and rebellion. Roy of Sealand, whilst on vacation with his wife in Austria, was deposed and his son held hostage by the then Prime Minister Alexander Achenbach. Roy of Sealand was deposed while entering into negotiations with a consortium about the sale of the state territory in contravention to the existing constitution. Roy of Sealand counter attacked and retook the principality imprisoning Prime Minister Alexander Achenbach for treason.
(6) The governments of the Netherlands, Austria and Germany petitioned the British government for his release, but the United Kingdom disavowed his imprisonment, citing the 1968 court decision. Germany then sent a diplomat from its London embassy to Roughs Tower to negotiate for Achenbach's release. Roy Bates relented after several weeks of negotiations and subsequently claimed that the diplomat's visit constituted de facto recognition of Sealand by Germany.
(7) Achenbach and Gernot Putz established a "government in exile". By an amendment to the constitution and until the reconstitution of the constitutional Principality, the functions of the deposed Roy of Sealand are temporarily taken over by a syndic. This office is entrusted in accordance to international law at The Hague. The government in exile is sometimes known as the Sealand Rebel Government, or Sealandic Rebel Government, in Germany, Achenbach's appointed successor, Johannes Seiger, continues to claim that he is Sealand's legitimate ruling authority.
(8) In 1987 Britain extended its territorial waters from 3 to 12 nautical miles. Prince Roy declared the extension of Sealand's territorial waters to be 12 nautical miles, protecting the right of way from the open sea to Sealand. Hence, creating a legal loophole and potential for mass illegal immigration into the East coast of England.
(9) Jus gentium applies as a basic principle underpinning the independence of the Principality. This position is further supported by de facto events. States have either left Sealand alone to deal internationally with matters critical to its National interest, or have recognised Sealand as the legal and administrative authority over its territorial limits. The United Kingdom government recognises, inter alia, residency or work in Sealand as an overseas activity.
(10) Again, in direct constitutional contravention, in 2007, Sealand was offered for sale through Spanish estate company InmoNaranja. Since a principality cannot technically be sold, Sealand's current unconstitutional occupants plan to transfer "custodianship". The asking price is €750 million (£600 million).
(11) In January 2009, the Kingdom of Marduk claimed ownership of Sealand, saying it was not mentioned in treaties after the Second World War and so can be claimed by anyone.
The Order of White Knights considers:
(1) That Roy of Sealand acted unconstitutionally by entering negotiations on the sale of state territory. That Prime Minister Alexander Achenbach acted legitimately in defending the constitution. That the claim by Johannes Seiger to be Sealand's legitimate ruling authority is more valid. Equally, this view is reinforced by further acts to transfer custodianship which cannot be legitimately entered into. Equally, that the recent cash for peerages scheme is not only dishonourable but shallow with disregards to White ancestral claims on a part of our continent. In particular, by distributing peerages to non Whites of non European ancestry. As such a potential gateway leading to illegal immigration.
(2) That the Kingdom of Marduk's sovereignty claim is equally valid on the basis that, in fact, no mention is made in regards to Sealand in treaties after the second world war.
(3) As Roy of Sealand was legitimately deposed for breaching the constitution. Sealand's government in exile makes the current occupants illegitimate and any acts or agreements they enter into are void. However Johannes Seiger's appointment is disenfranchised, with little mandate, never fully acquiring citizenship of Sealand. Making his government in exile moot.
Therefore, in conclusion:
The Order of White Knights, together with its members and supporters, claims Sealand as its own sovereign territory and, as such, Neo National Socialist and White Cause supporters can act within rights to form a pro White revolutionary government on Royal fort Roughs Tower (known as Sealand or The Principality of Sealand). In this way preventing the further dilution, through cash for peerages, of White Ancestral racial claim over the land.
It is our view, that this declaration of sovereignty and any acts to seize the Principality of Sealand, by 14 Words Activists, would immediately cause neighbouring Zionist Orchestrated States, to the Principality of Sealand, to destroy the Island. That the British government and Royal Navy have already devised such plans. To prevent this outcome we would request, from the current occupants, of the Principality of Sealand to: (1) cease and desist the cash for peerages scheme (the selling of titles) and (2) terminate negotiations on the transfer of custodianship. Thus, preventing mass incursions of illegal immigrants.
In this way, lone wolves and group wolves may take no further interest in the micro-nation Principality. The choice is yours. There are more of us then there are of YOU.
